Manslaughter Defense Attorney

Manslaughter Charges in Rancho Cucamonga

In our firm, Chung & Ignacio, LLP we feel it is important that each
individual we help understands the charges they are facing and what the
possible penalties can be. Manslaughter is a type of
homicide in which a human being is killed but without malice aforethought, as in a
murder charge.

In our state it is classified as a
violent crime. If you are convicted of a manslaughter charge, it is capable of adversely
changing your life forever. It is vital, therefore, that an aggressive
and skilled Rancho Cucamonga criminal defense lawyer be retained to fight
in your defense.

There are three fundamental types of manslaughter charges. There is voluntary
manslaughter in which a person intends to kill another or cause them bodily
harm. This sort of manslaughter can occur because of a sudden quarrel
or a heated, passionate moment. When someone is killed because another
has been reckless or negligent, this is considered involuntary manslaughter.

In involuntary manslaughter, the person causing the death is thought to
have done so without the intent to kill or cause bodily harm. There is
a specific type of involuntary manslaughter called vehicular manslaughter.
The difference between this and involuntary manslaughter is simply the
use of a motor vehicle. This type of charge is commonly seen in a
DUI that results in death.

Are you facing a manslaughter charge?

Manslaughter charges can be punished by imprisonment in a county jail or
a state prison. In addition, you may have a permanent strike against your
record, be required to pay stiff fines, have your driver's license
revoked and have probation or parole. Voluntary manslaughter carries with
it a state prison sentence of up to 11 years. Involuntary manslaughter
is a serious crime that can be punishable by imprisonment for up to 4 years.

In our firm, we utilize inventive and effective legal strategies to combat
against manslaughter charges. Aggressive and thorough investigation into
the facts surrounding your charges can reveal flaws in the prosecution's
evidence and case. We feel it is important to get working now to mount
the best defense possible on your behalf.
